One can imagine what a subtle feeling it would be when Bellatrix saw the back of a strange but familiar man on the soft chair in the living room early the next morning.

The sorcerer's dwellings, or the ones she knew, were each protected by magic, and then passed down from generation to generation by the reinforcement and perfection of their ancestors. So even if many of the old wizard family's houses look very dilapidated and out of place with the beautiful houses of the new era, few people will give up.

That house was often more than just a house for Bellatrix's class. It has a lot of value and meaning attached to it. Unless the family is broken, or the family is in the middle of the road, no one will choose to give up their ancient house. Even their descendants often do not live there.

In the eyes of the class to which she belonged, the older it was, the more complex and varied the houses attached to it, the more precious and rare they became. Just like in the human world, there are always some people who like to use certain things to express their own connotation to others, and so on.

It's just that most human beings choose books, antiques, artworks, etc., while wizards choose ancient houses that have been passed down for a long time, as well as magical alchemy items, and some special magical creatures that are related to legends.

Most of these things are artificially given more value than they are. Although the collecting habits of humans and wizards are very different, the same thing is that the older they are, the more prestigious the history of the objects and things themselves, or the more valuable they are, the more they will be able to win their favor.

Many capable wizard families have such a vague collecting habit, the difference is only in uncontrollable fanaticism, and the ability to consider and treat rationally.

Bellatrix belongs to a class known as a pure-blood nobleman in the wizarding world of this world!

And Bellatrix Lestrange, in Girlhood, is called Bellatrix Black!

A family so illustrious that with just one name, it can gain the approval and respect of the vast majority of pure-blood nobles! Even if it has inevitably fallen into loneliness, and even now it is facing a kind of bad situation in which there is no successor, and if it is unlucky, it will come to a complete end like those families in wizarding history that were once prominent, but then declined and destroyed.

But so far, the upper echelons of the wizarding world, no matter what they do in private, still dare not underestimate this family too much in front of people.

It was a kind of network and heritage accumulated over hundreds of years, and as long as the Black family had not completely come to an end, and the marriage family with which it had relationships and friendships still existed, and as long as the pure-blood nobles still held the power in their hands, just like the now deceased Slytherin, those nobles would not allow anyone to slander the glory of a once-prominent pure-blood family.

Even this pure-blood family comes with some darkness.

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't even hurt the glory. What pure-blood family doesn't carry such a darkness on their backs?

These pure-blood families are mysterious, and the real main abode must be guarded to the death. Because there are too many secret secrets of the family. Bellatrix grew up in a family like Black, and perhaps the Black family, which was already showing signs of decline at that time, could not provide her with too many excellent resources, but it could help her broaden her horizons and easily expand her network.

A Black name can bring a lot of convenience and glory to Bellatrix in many ways, especially at Slytherin House at Hogwarts.

The wizarding world is very dismissive of the safety of houses in the Muggle world, and wizards pay more attention to the safety and inheritance of houses, and the protection is more thorough and rigorous. With the exception of a few special pure-blood families such as the Weasleys, every pure-blood wizard's house is inflicted with a variety of strange and mysterious magic.

Inheritance magic, in particular, is a magical magic that is recognized and upheld by the entire wizarding world. When the current head of the family dies, the house will automatically fall into the descendants of the family who have his bloodline according to the wishes of the head of the house. And the house, and everything in the family, will be magically bound from the dead head of the house to the new heir.

Whether it is a living or dead thing, the moment the magic is transferred, it will have the ability and power to control the resources of the entire family, as well as the hands of people. Of course, there are also those who designate a person who is not of their own blood to inherit everything in the family. But that is very rare, and there are a lot of conditions that need to be met.

First, there must be no suitable heir in your own family who has family blood in her veins, otherwise it is impossible for the master of the family to do such a thing with the magic passed down from the ancestors. Second, the designated successor must have a close, recognized intimacy with the head of the family.

It's not easy to casually enter a wizard's home, even if it's just an ordinary wizard's home. At the very least, you need to have a nice unlocking charm, and a deep sense of protection and defensive magic.

Since Muggles can train skills such as lockpicking into a kind of black art that is "close to art", then the wizarding world, which is much more troublesome than Muggle houses, naturally has more consideration for this skill.

Bellatrix and Gargerson were able to break through Mellen Watts' home and force him to sell their property at a low price, because the house was just a casual home for Mellen Watts. Naturally, the security could not be compared to the main house of the family he inherited, as well as the house where he often lived.

But if Tang Bai bought this house, Bellatrix and Gargerson would have to spend a lot of money if they wanted to break in. And it is impossible not to alarm the owner of the house.

If you want to infiltrate this house silently, you must either find a loophole in the time node of the house's magic - the guardian power of the house cannot be forever, it is in the best state of protection at all times, and those magic always appear chaotically and alternately. This makes it impossible for anyone to immediately determine what the current protective magic is, except for the owner of the house, and start breaking it with a spell that targets the surname.

Either they have inserted a hole in the house beforehand. Use other powers to bypass the protective magic of the house and appear in a safe location. This is not a high possibility, because the wizard's vigilance is strong enough that they will always use various magic to monitor the items they take over, and only after confirming that they do not pose a threat to the main house will they put them in the main house for storage.

But in some places, this monitoring still has its loopholes. For example, there are always people coming and going, and even the books, alchemical items, and even houses stored in them are not even clear to the headmaster, whose owner, is unknown. So even though Hogwarts exerts the most powerful and meticulous protective magic, because too many people have lived in it and are very familiar with some parts of it, the secret and safe surnames are not as good as the ancient houses of some prominent families. And it's also better able to find vulnerabilities.

In the future, the new Death Eater Draco Malfoy used the special surname of the Vanishing Cabinet to bypass the guardian magic on the periphery of Hogwarts, causing a great panic, confusion, and labor pain to Hogwarts.

Just as Bellatrix frowned slightly, the corner of her eye skimmed the man's back, revealing a familiar small figure.

With a big head, a thin body as if it were malnourished, a strange-looking, rough-skinned body dressed as a dwarf villain with all sorts of stains, seen as a lack of laziness in hard work.

House-elf – Crickloo!

"Good morning, Bella."

Tang Bai turned his head from the soft chair, looked at Bellatrix who was holding on to the railing of the staircase, and greeted.

"The time you spent on this trip is a little more than you expected. Knott and Mellen Watts, the number of times I've been here in the past two months has made me feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Tang Bai's face, Bellatrix's heart instantly settled down and responded to Tang Bai.

"Crickloo has prepared breakfast for the master, what does Mrs. Bellatrix need?" Crickloo happily jumped onto a soft chair on the side, stood on the arm of the chair, and bowed to Bellatrix politely.

Crackling!

An equally short figure appeared from the air behind Creekru, stretched out his foot and kicked Creekru down on the armrest, holding a large plate full of food in both hands, looking at Creekru's eyes full of annoyance.

"Go away! You bumbling fellow! Miss Bella is left to me, how many times do you want me to say it! Kreacher's shriveled chest was violently bullied, and the plate held high in his hand swayed as if it were powerless to lift with his trembling short body, as if one were worried that the food on the plate would slide down from it the next moment.

But in fact, no matter how violently the plate swayed, and no matter how Kreacher's short, thin little body swayed, the food on the plate always stayed in its own "territory", never sliding out even a single step.

"There were some emergencies that needed to be dealt with, so it took a little bit of time." Tang Bai ignored the noisy two house-elves, in fact, he had seen this scene a lot, and relived it again after a year or so, but he had a special feeling.

"Yes." Bellatrix looked at Tang Bai, and she vaguely felt that Tang Bai, who had returned this time, had a little more unfamiliar changes in temperament than before. (To be continued.) )
